It is unfortunate that John is the only of the gospels that recalls this event because more clarity might be gleaned from another perspective.
The natural reaction from todays paradigm is one of souls IMO but a careful reading of the entire chapter reveals hints that Jesus is, indeed, speaking of the fruit of the spirit.
Remember what the fruit of the spirit is Jesus begins speaking of fruit in
John 15:2 and he goes on to mention love and joy. These could be sufficient mentions to draw the conclusion that the fruit he is speaking of is the fruit of the spirit.
